Hello Sirs,
A person has filed a police complaint against my friend who is living at Bangalore giving absured allegations like he is drunkard, dishonest, criminal threat to society etc. at Gujrat police station.
I was suggested to file a defamation case on it, my question the defamation case can be filed only at Gujrat or can it be filed at Bangalore also since the place of residance of my friend is at Bangalore.
Please clarify the juridiction of filing the defamation case on this.
